Abstract

There are provided an optical fiber coupler configured to improve or optimize optical efficiency and coupling efficiency, a method of manufacturing the optical fiber coupler, and an active optical module. The optical fiber coupler includes a first optical fiber and second optical fibers. The first optical fiber includes a first core and a first cladding surrounding the first core, and the second optical fibers are coupled to the first cladding. The first cladding includes a first coupling facet to which ends of the second optical fibers are coupled.
